Both Washington and Moscow seemed to feel that the danger of widespread contamination in a densely populated area was minimal and wanted to cooperate in calming any public concern. Yet intelligence officials in both nations knew that Cosmos 954 was a rare and sophisticated Soviet bird designed to track deep-running American nuclear submarines. Should the Soviets perfect their surveillance methods, they might be able to track all U.S. subs, including the Trident when it becomes operational in 1981.
